Excellent - well worth a read. Thanks both to @Dave 30th and Carol Monaghan.
But PACE did say in their protocol that they would use a submaximal 'self-paced step test' (search the protocol for ref #43, which is this...
Not necessarily - I think a lot of UK PWME give to quite a range of ME charities, including overseas ones. That will often include the MEA, of...
How about changing your title to 'David Tuller's new crowdfunding campaign (April 1, 2018)'? Important to have your name on it so people read the...

Hence Le Pétomane ('Fartomaniac'), the famous French flatulist. Though this probably wasn't the kind of thing you were thinking of.
Sorry, I didn't see the quote marks. o_O
Oops, you're right! Sorry, @Sly Saint!
I'm not sure I undertand your point, @Joel. A graph (though not even the summary numbers underlying it, refused in response to an FOI request)...

Separate names with a comma.
